scotland have only ever reached the european championships once, in 2017. let's take a look at tonight's other fixtures. as well as that scotland match, wales take on the republic of ireland in cardiff and northern ireland host norway at inver park in larne. northern ireland last beat norway back in 2011. captain simone magill played in that game and she says that they can do it again. i was very young. it was on my first tastes of senior international football. i remember it so well. no one expected us to get anything from that game, and to come away with a 31 win was unheard of at that time, especially given most of our players were amateur at that time. no professional players. you want to look at a true underdog story, we have our very own, we have to utilise that and channel it in tomorrow night's game. england really rode their luck on the second day of the first test in christchurch, they're just 29 runs behind new zealand in their first innings thanks

to an unbeaten 132 from harry brook, but he was dropped four times, and the blackcaps spilled two other catches as well allowing england to reach 319—5 by the close. our sports correspondent joe wilson was watching. reassurances what england seek in new zealand for their philosophy selections. zak crawley faced 12 balls, scored nothing. close enough for the umpire. lb w. jacob apple battled then fell for ten, tough to make 100 in a test match when he's never scored one in county cricket. joe root is always reliable. nearly always. not for him. england 45—3. new zealand calmly in control. then the sun came out and so did harry broke. the quality of his batting was accompanied by ollie pope's reshuffled into middle order. make 77. enjoyed brooks�*s company. they were still together at the tea

5:34 pm
zhang anda by 6 frames to 2. trump recorded four centuries on his way to winning through to a place in the last four as he looks for a first title at this event since 2011. barry hawkins played some superb snooker to claim his place in the last 4. the world number 20 saw off triple crown winner shaun murphy by 6 frames to 2. hawkins knocked out defending champion ronnie 0'sullivan in the first round. that's just about it — a reminder that you can keep up to date with the latest from formula 0ne's sprint qualifying session in qatar on the bbc sport website and app, but that's all from me for now. more now on our top story and that moment of history — as mps at westminster voted — to support a bill, to legalise assisted dying.it was, in the end, relatively close — 330 votes to 275 — the bill now progresses to the next stage. the vote came after hours of — impassioned, personal, principled, moving debate. the prime minister, sir keir starmer among those who voted
5:35 pm
in favour of the bill. for those who'd come to parliament to back "assisted dying" — this was the moment they heard how mps had voted. all day, there have been supporters and protestors — in rival groups making their case. these are the pictures a short distance away — of those who'd lobbied against the bill. worth saying — it is not now law — this is just the first hurdle, but in the past when mp�*s have voted, it's always fallen at this hurdle. we've had lots of reaction throughout the afternoon, so we'll bring you some of that if you'rejustjoining us. first of all — this is how kim leadbeater, who introduced the bill the house of commons, reacted when she spoke to my colleague helen catt in the lobby of the house of commons, after the result. we've shown parliament in its best light today, very respectful, very compassionate debate, irrespective of the political views that people hold. we take the bill to the next
5:36 pm
stage now, we continue the process and it will be a very thorough process. we also have to champion all the issues that have been talked about today, whether that's palliative care, the right to disabled people, nhs, all of those things are important. i look forward to working with colleagues today. what does the next step for you? they already said that that committee has been able to take evidence for example, what are you going to do to try to bring this? i have had literally hundreds of meetings on this issue over the recent months. i want to hear from everybody. i believe the bill is in a very good place, but if there are things that need to change, amendments that need to be put forward, let's have that conversation. i will take evidence, a very thorough robust bill they are to scrutinise the bill and make it the best it possibly can be. it will be a long process. and as i said in my speech, there's a two year
5:37 pm
implementation period, plenty of time to get this right. i understand people in the media have been a bit concerned about process and how it all works. we got past the second reading now and it's ourjob to make this happen for the many people i know it means so much to. mas this happen for the many people i know it means so much to. was there an hinu know it means so much to. was there anything you — know it means so much to. was there anything you heard — know it means so much to. was there anything you heard today _ know it means so much to. was there anything you heard today that - know it means so much to. was there anything you heard today that give . anything you heard today that give you pause for thought for those that made you think actually, maybe there is something that needs changing? there's nothing specific but i think all the voices that were heard me to continue to be heard, so whether that's on palliative care provision from around the nhs are making sure disable people's voices are at the heart of the deliberations, all of those things, let's do it well, let's do it holistically. let's continue to listen to those terminally ill people, several have come down today and people who have lost loved ones in harrowing circumstances. i think the debate continues now, and it hopefully continues now, and it hopefully continues to do its job, continues now, and it hopefully continues to do itsjob, parliament, as well as its done it today. i continues to do its job, parliament, as well as its done it today.- as well as its done it today. i know ou have as well as its done it today. i know you have lots _ as well as its done it today. i know you have lots of _ as well as its done it today. i know you have lots of people _ as well as its done it today. i know you have lots of people wanting i as well as its done it today. i know you have lots of people wanting to | you have lots of people wanting to speak to you, some of the stories you told today were too harrowing.
5:38 pm
you must personally had to listen to an awful lot of really harrowing stories over the last few months. what does it mean to you to go back to those families and say, look, i've got this?— to those families and say, look, i've not this? ~ . , ., ., ., i've got this? means a huge amount. the have i've got this? means a huge amount. they have carried _ i've got this? means a huge amount. they have carried me _ i've got this? means a huge amount. they have carried me along - i've got this? means a huge amount. they have carried me along a - i've got this? means a huge amount. they have carried me along a hard i they have carried me along a hard journey and i've spent 90% of my time talking about death, which is not easy. i mentioned in my speech, and they are terminally ill. we have to accept that's the reality of the situation. people across the whole country. it's emotional but it's emotional for lots of people. i'm just glad that we've managed to represent those voices here today and we can take this onto the stage. danny kruger is a mpfor mp for east wiltshire, he opposed the bill. this is his response to what we have seen stop i'm very disappointed we lost the boat. i was encouraged by the debate itself will stop at that it went really well. the good news for my point of view, we lost the boat, there's only the second reading. a lot of colleagues
5:39 pm
were singular only voting for it because they recognise their problems with the bill. they think we can improve that in committee. i think that was a high—risk move. but let's see if they are right. we now have months of further debate and i am hopeful that colleagues who've expressed concerns will either succeed in strengthening the bill to make it safe or they will conclude they haven't been able to do that, we could defeat at a later stage in the third reading. you are a clear view was there was too much that needs fixing and this bill, that this isn't possible. is that you're settled view on this or is that open to change? end settled view on this or is that open to chance? , ., settled view on this or is that open to change?— to change? end up with a bill that i could support- _ to change? end up with a bill that i could support. we _ to change? end up with a bill that i could support. we can _ to change? end up with a bill that i could support. we can certainly - could support. we can certainly improve the bill substantially. we can ban doctors from recommending assisted suicide to people, which they could do at the moment, we can assist with thejudges they could do at the moment, we can assist with the judges have more power to actually investigate whether there's been coercion rather
5:40 pm
than taking people's word for it. there's things we could do, difficult or but we could try. i do worry there's not going to be enough time in the parliamentary timetable, and as a private members bill, i am going to really push and i really hope we can. i hope the other side recognise the need for that. and that's what we have to try and do. what is the key priority for you? if there was one thing you could change about this bill, what is the main thing that you would want to see changing in the coming weeks? there's so much in there who needs addressing, if wejust there's so much in there who needs addressing, if we just close one loophole, others will widen. i think we need a comprehensive look at the whole bill. think about how it's being done. a big issue for me that runs through to secrecy. your family don't need to be told you are doing it from yourfamily don't need to be told you are doing it from your family doctor doesn't even need to know. the first thing you hear that your mother has been given assisted death is the death certificate arriving. and the judge
5:41 pm
can do his whole or her whole process in secret. we can make the whole thing much more open and transparent, that would be helpful, but i still think it's a dangerous bill for society, the impact on the vulnerably very serious. i think it's a bad bill and a bad idea. but we must try and improve it. and if we must try and improve it. and if we can't improve it too satisfactory, i hope colleagues here who said they would only vote for it on condition of improvement come if we don't improve it, i hope they will recognise that we failed and they need to vote against it at the end of the process. will they need to vote against it at the end of the process.— end of the process. will you be workin: end of the process. will you be working constructively - end of the process. will you be working constructively with - end of the process. will you be working constructively with the j 1417 00:11:35,923 --
